June 25, 1985 Item No. 9 - Z-4466 Owner: Applicant: Location: Request: Purpose: Size: Existing Use: Roy May Maury Mitchell 5000 Block of South University Rezone from "I-2" to "C-3" and "C-4" Auto Service 1.43 acres + Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Vacant, Zoned "I-2" South - Commercial, Zoned "I-2" East - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" West - Vacant, Zoned "C-3" STAFF REPORT: The proposal is to rezone what will be two lots to "C-3" and "C-4" for some type of auto service. The "C-3" lot will require a conditional use permit for the proposed use, and a plat will be filed for the two new lots. The property is located on the east side of University south of Fourche Creek.

The applicant chose to rezone the tract because of some of the required setbacks in "I-2" and the signage permitted in a commercial district versus industrial. Staff_ views no outstanding issues with the rezoning and supports the request. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed.
